Richard Beattie Seaman (1913 – 1939) – Driver Profile
When Richard Seaman
drove his Mercedes-Benz W 154 3-litre
formula racing car to victory at the 1938 German Grand Prix, he sealed
his reputation as the most successful British racing driver of his
day.
Although a perennial favorite among German race-going crowds, Seaman’s
role as a representative of National Socialist motorsport shortly before the
outbreak of the Second World War was viewed critically in his homeland. But
Seaman would not live long enough to see Europe descend into war: just eleven
months after his triumph at the Nürburgring, his career came to a tragic end at
the Belgian Grand Prix when his car left the circuit and crashed into a tree.
Seaman died of his serious injuries that same evening.
